1. How come we get to see Mac in her underwear and shirtless Bud, but only fully clothed Harm? That's just not right! Can I just tell you how shocked I was that they showed Mac in something that skimpy? She looked GREAT, but it was totally unexpected. GO DPB!!!
2. "I'm also dressing".... "I can help you with that too" Holy moley Batman!!! I don't think they're doing the horizontal mambo, but if that statement was any indication, they both know that they want to and the desire is mutual! I think the sexual tension has ratcheted up a few thousand degrees.
3. I thought the whole Bud-dying-then-coming-back part was ludicrous, not just because of the near medical impossibility of it, but it just came off as really hokey.
Harriet's "breakdown" in the Admiral's office – NOT a good crier.
4. AJ's emotion when he finds out it's Bud and has Tiner call Harriet into his office was the only part of the show that choked me up. I thought it came off as very realistic.
5. Someone on one of the lists said that the stuff with the Senate hearing seemed out of place – I agree. I wish they had saved that for another show and let us see more of the comfort scenes.
6. THE COMFORT SCENES WERE AWESOME! I would have liked to have seen an H/M hug, or an actual CONVERSATION during that last scene, but I'm learning to be satisfied with the crumbs I'm thrown. We got 2 hand holds, a head caress, a head-on-shoulder, and some tear wiping. I'll take it!
Overall, not the best JAG episode ever, but it was enjoyable. The shipper moments more than made up for the typical too-many-things-happening that has become an epidemic in JAGdom. I can't wait to hear what everyone else thought of this episode.
